BARBARIANS v ALL BLACKS 1973 (DVD)
On a grey January afternoon in Cardiff, few expected the Baa -Baas to offer much resistance to a rampant New Zealand side. The All Blacks went into their final tour match having recorded victories over Wales, Scotland and England: the Barbarians, as is their tradition, had limited preparation, an uncapped player and an obligation to attack. However, the Barbarians' side was comprised of many of the truly great players of the era - Duckham, Gibson, JPR Williams, Bennett, Edwards, McBride and Carmicheal - and together they were to produce a tuly remarkable team performance, including a try from Gareth Edwards in the third minute which has proved, with the passage of time, to have been one of the best in the history of the game.
Soon, the All Blacks, with outstanding players like Going, Batty and Williams, began to match their opponents' exhilarating quality. As attack and couter-attack brought a fantastic response from the Arms Park, the stage was tuly set for the greatest rugby match ever seen.
